Well, so did I ;-)

Maybe they should, I'm not sure what their ideas are.

Unfortunately:

axp33# disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 da1c
boot overlaps used partition a
Warning, boot overlaps partition c, marked as FS_BOOT
disklabel: cannot install boot program
axp33# disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 /dev/rda1c
boot overlaps used partition a
Warning, boot overlaps partition c, marked as FS_BOOT
disklabel: cannot install boot program
axp33#

I tried to be tricky by:

mv /boot /boot.netbsd
mkdir /boot & populate with /boot/loader

And then:

boot -fi /boot/loader

Alas: unknow executable format

For the rest everything works just fine using the NetBSD boot-bits.
